Creepy Crawlies

My house has been invaded by blue bottle flies.  So much so, that a few minutes of swatting leaves the carpet and windowsills littered with a river of little corpses.  We have made a game of it, taking turns whapping the bejeezus out of the flies, then grabbing the vacuum cleaner to dispose of the evidence.  We can't exactly pinpoint where all the little buggers are coming from, but they are just one in a litany of buggy visitors.  Last year's plague was pincher bugs; the year before, ants.  Our assailants seem to be getting bigger each year, so my question is "What's next?  Locusts?"  As I've said so many times before, every occasion has a playlist.  So, in the spirit of summertime creepy crawlies, here is my mix:
  1. "Mind the Spider"- Hoodoo Gurus
  2. "Roly Poly"- The Little Willies
  3. "Spiderman"- Ash Guff
  4. "The Worm"- Audioslave
  5. "Ants Marching"- The Dave Matthews Band
  6. "Bug"- Mandy Moore
  7. "The Caterpillar"- The Cure
  8. "Honey Bee"- Lucinda Williams
  9. "Black Widow"- Anna Ternheim
  10. "Junebug"- The B-52's
  11. "A Million Fireflies"- The Midway State
  12. "Muzzle of Bees"- Wilco
  13. "Radio Moth"- Meat Puppets
  14. "Insect Mother"- Robyn Hitchcock
  15. "Bugman"- Blur
  16. "Mosquito March"- Midnight Oil
  17. "Wings of a Butterfly"- HIM
